Eve Air Mobility and UI Helicopter Collaborate to Accelerate Advanced Air Mobility in South Korea

Eve Air Mobility (Eve), a company dedicated to fostering Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) globally, and UI Helicopter, South Korea’s leading helicopter operator and maintenance provider, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cultivate the industry’s ecosystem in South Korea.

Through their combined expertise, Eve and UI Helicopter will collaborate to introduce eVTOL technical, operational and ecosystem requirements to the local government and industry in South Korea.

The collaboration will begin by fielding Eve’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market survey to gather initial intelligence supporting this process. The South Korean government has taken significant steps to advance Urban Air Mobility through various initiatives, including the K-UAM Grand Challenge. In addition to Seoul, there exists considerable potential for AAM in rural regions of South Korea, serving as a vital means of enhancing connectivity and stimulating local economies.

Leveraging Eve’s knowledge, UI will harness its local expertise to ensure collaboration and open dialogue with policy leaders as the two parties develop an AAM ecosystem that rigorously incorporates technical best practices and South Korea’s distinct regulatory standards.
